How It Works

We believe in the public’s right to know about what’s happening to our planet. Our investigations expose environmental crimes and the people, companies and governments that need to be held responsible.

Each one of us can make small changes in our lives, but together we can change the world. Greenpeace connects people from all over the globe. We bring together diverse perspectives, and help communities and individuals to come together.

We have the courage to take action and stand up for our beliefs. We work together to stop the destruction of the environment using peaceful direct action and creative communication. We don’t just identify problems, we create solutions.

Stories & Victories

I believe that we need to alter our relationship with plastic, because we aren’t going to be able to recycle our way out of this problem. Our most effective solution is to reduce our reliance on single-use plastics, and I have been educating the public on practical ways we can reduce our plastic footprint.
